I've found what I've been looking for!!
And if you do stick with Zeal, there is the zeal-at-point package. You still need the external Zeal reader, but at least it gives you a convenient way to lookup stuff in it from within Emacs.

Is there an emacs equivalent of "Dash.app" ?
I’ve used Zeal (a cross-platform Dash alternative) with zeal-at-point. Recently though I’ve gone all in on LSP, and highly recommended. Speaking from experience, at least for Haskell and Go, the integrated documentation is excellent.
What are some alternatives?
